Editing Extreme poverty (section)

===Non-Governmental Organizations===
A multitude of non-governmental organizations operate in the field of extreme poverty, actively working to alleviate the poorest of the poor of their deprivation. To name but a few notable organizations: [[Save the Children]], the [[Overseas Development Institute]], [[Concern Worldwide]], [[ONE Campaign|ONE]], [[Trickle Up]] and [[Oxfam]] have all done a considerable amount of work in extreme poverty.

Save the Children is the leading international organization dedicated to helping the world's indigent children. In 2013, Save the Children reached over 143 million children through their work, including over 52 million children directly.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.savethechildren.net/|title=Save the Children|work=Save the Children International|access-date=14 June 2015}}</ref> Save the Children also recently released their own report titled "Getting to Zero",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/sites/default/files/images/Getting_to_Zero.pdf |title=Getting to Zero |publisher=[[Save the Children]] |access-date=18 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150824055131/http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/sites/default/files/images/Getting_to_Zero.pdf |archive-date=24 August 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> in which they argued the international community could feasibly do more than lift the world's poor above $1.25/day.

The [[Overseas Development Institute]] (ODI) is a UK based think tank on international development and humanitarian issues. ODI is dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the world's poor by providing high-quality research and practical policy advice to the World's development officials.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.odi.org/about|title=About ODI|access-date=14 June 2015}}</ref> ODI also recently released a paper entitled, "The Chronic Poverty Report 2014–2015: The road to zero extreme poverty",<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.odi.org/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publications-opinion-files/8834.pdf |title=The Chronic Poverty Report 2014–2015: The road to zero extreme poverty |access-date=7 July 2014 |archive-date=26 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190126061046/https://www.odi.org/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publications-opinion-files/8834.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> in which its authors assert that though the international communities' goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030 is laudable, much more targeted resources will be necessary to reach said target. The report states that "To eradicate extreme poverty, massive global investment is required in social assistance, education and pro-poorest economic growth".<ref>{{cite book |author1=Andrew Shepherd |author2=Lucy Scott |author3=Chiara Mariotti |author4=Flora Kessy |author5=Raghav Gaiha |author6=Lucia da Corta |author7=Katharina Hanifnia |author8=Nidhi aicker |author9=Amanda Lenhardt |author10=Charles Lwanga-Ntale |author11=Binayak Sen |author12=Bandita Sijapati |author13=Tim Strawson |author14=Ganesh Thapa |author15=Helen Underhill |author16=Leni Wild |publisher=Overseas Development Institute |year=2015 |title=Chronic Poverty Report 2014–15: The Road to Zero Extreme Poverty |url=http://www.odi.org/chronic-poverty |access-date=15 August 2014 |archive-date=26 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190126061001/https://www.odi.org/chronic-poverty |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Concern Worldwide is an international humanitarian organization whose mission is to end extreme poverty by influencing decision makers at all levels of government (from local to international).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.concern.net/about|title=About Concern|work=Concern Worldwide|access-date=14 June 2015}}</ref> Concern has also produced a report on extreme poverty in which they explain their own conception of extreme poverty from a NGO's standpoint. In this paper, named "How Concern Understands Extreme Poverty",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.concern.net/sites/default/files/resource/2011/03/how_concern_understands_extreme_poverty_-_2010.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.concern.net/sites/default/files/resource/2011/03/how_concern_understands_extreme_poverty_-_2010.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live|title=How Concern Understands Extreme Poverty}}</ref> the report's creators write that extreme poverty entails more than just living under $1.25/day, it also includes having a small number of assets and being vulnerable to severe negative shocks (whether natural or man made).

ONE, the organization co-founded by [[Bono]], is a non-profit organization funded almost entirely by foundations, individual philanthropists and corporations. ONE's goals include raising public awareness and working with political leaders to fight preventable diseases, increase government accountability and increase investment in nutrition.<ref>One International. [http://www.one.org/international/about/ "About"]</ref> Finally, Trickle Up is a micro-enterprise development program targeted at those living on under $1.25/day, which provides the indigent with resources to build a sustainable livelihood through both direct financing and considerable training efforts.<ref>Trickle Up.

Oxfam is a non-governmental organization that works prominently in Africa; their mission is to improve local community organizations and it works to reduce impediments to the development of the country. Oxfam helps families suffering from poverty receive food and healthcare to survive. There are many children in Africa experiencing growth stunting, and this is one example of an issue that Oxfam targets and aims to resolve.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oxfam.org/en/countries/south-africa|title=South Africa - Oxfam International|website=www.oxfam.org}}</ref>

Cash transfers appear to be an effective intervention for reducing extreme poverty, while at the same time improving health and education outcomes.<ref name="doi10.1002/14651858.CD011135.pub2">{{cite journal |title=Unconditional cash transfers for reducing poverty and vulnerabilities: effect on use of health services and health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries |journal=Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews |volume=11 |pages=CD011135 |year=2017 |doi= 10.1002/14651858.CD011135.pub2 |last1=Pega |first1=Frank |last2=Liu |first2=Sze |last3=Walter |first3=Stefan  |last4=Pabayo |first4=Roman |last5=Saith |first5=Ruhi |last6=Lhachimi |first6=Stefan |issue=4 |pmc=6486161 |pmid=29139110 }}</ref><ref name="doi10.1002/14651858.CD011135.pub3">{{cite journal |title=Unconditional cash transfers for reducing poverty and vulnerabilities: effect on use of health services and health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries |journal=Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews |volume=2022 |pages=CD011135 |year=2022 |doi= 10.1002/14651858.CD011135.pub3 |last1=Pega |first1=Frank |last2=Pabayo |first2=Roman |last3=Benny |first3=Claire |last4=Lee |first4=Eun-Young |last5=Lhachimi |first5=Stefan |last6=Liu |first6=Sze |issue=3 |pmid=35348196 |pmc=8962215 }}</ref>
